The website is free and you want to remove a source of income for the website which will keep it running.

To all members, keep it real, MikeC is doing his best for you lot to provide a free service and if that means you have suffer some pop ups or something in the posts....then thats the price you have to bear with. No way around it. Its really no big deal when you honestly think about it. A few seconds to get rid of the pop ups etc? Come awnnnnnnn folks...

Ok Ex-poop, it's Brokeback time. *Puts on the rubber glove*. Time to see what you are made of.........on the inside.

As for the ads, well, I will be honest. I HATE ads and I use adblock and noscript. I understand why they are there. They help pay for the site fees. I don't expect MikeC/D/E/F/G™ to take them down, but if they were to pop up constantly like the CC ad that everyone is complaining about, I would go insane. They are there to support the site, not make it almost impossible to VIEW the site.
